We do hard things. Intellectual Property - patents, trademarks, copyright, trade secrets; Bankruptcy - Chapter 7, 13 and 11 (both personal and business), and Adversary Proceedings; Litigation - from Justice of the Peace to the Federal Court
Norred Law is a full-service law firm for intellectual property, bankruptcy, immigration, and litigation needs. Some of our services are available to clients all over the world. For example, we handle patent and trademark matters for clients residing in the U.K, the former Eastern Bloc, the Middle East, and the Russian Federation. Within the last few years, we have prosecuted patent rights for clients in more than 50 countries.
For those who reside in and around Arlington and the Dallas-Fort Worth area, we provide legal services in a personal manner, typically regarding litigation and bankruptcy matters – but you can always call us with your question and we will seek to help you or refer you to other qualified attorneys.
Whether you have a new idea that needs patent protection, are in financial trouble and need relief that only bankruptcy can provide, or find yourself in need of legal representation in court, Norred Law will work hard to help you achieve your goals.
Our Objectives
• Be available for clients: In survey after survey, the number one complaint about attorneys is that clients feel like they do not know what is going on in their case. To be frank, keeping clients abreast of every development is not easy. To address this goal, we maintain an electronic communication system so that clients can log in and see what the status is. We do our best to respond to queries within 24 hours.
• Establish reasonable expectations: Clients often seek a goal without regard to cost. We seek to help clients understand that the goal they have in mind may cost far more than they wish. Sometimes litigation comes with attorney fees and other times it will not. Even when facing bankruptcy, we can help to extricate clients from difficult situations and avoid bankruptcy. To ensure that clients are not surprised, we always use a written contract that discusses goals and costs. When goals change, we try to keep a summary of those discussions in writing so no one is surprised as a case goes forward.
• Serve our community: As a law firm, we understand that we are uniquely positioned to fight back against overbearing corporate and governmental institutions. We feel a duty to act as a countervailing force against those organizations. Though we cannot accept every case that comes into the office, we are determined to be involved in at least one case that we consider “white hat” law – cases that, when decided, will have an impact on our society and that are not adequately addressed by other legal forces.
Our Vision
The management of Norred Law envisions the firm as an organization that is focused on intellectual property, bankruptcy, and litigation issues. We seek to provide quality work at reasonable prices to individuals, businesses, and other law firms that do not offer the services we provide.
We believe that attorneys should establish long-term relationships with their clients and that one sure way to maintain the stability of a law firm is to ensure the growth of its clients by providing helpful representation.
Acknowledging that attorneys occupy a unique position in our society, Norred Law will seek participation in legal processes that defend the common liberties that citizens of this country have traditionally enjoyed.
